WOVEN TRIMMING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 506,365, dated October10, 1893.

Application filed August 18, 1891. Serial No. 402,993. (Specimens-l Toall whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRIEDRICH HASSEN- PFLUG, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and Stateof New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in WovenTrimmings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved trimming, in which trams of silk,mohair or other suitable material are interwoven with the heading insuch a manner that a selvage is formed at each side of the heading andthat in the facing cut trams and looped or uncut trams of any suitabledesign are formed, whereby a very characteristic and highly ornamentaltrimming for ladies garments is obtained; and the invention consists ofa trimming composed of aheading formed of warpthreads and of tramweft-threads which are interwoven with the warp-threads so as to form afacing for the heading and a selvage at each side of the same, thefacing being composed of cut trams and of looped or uncut trams whichare disposed of in the facing according to a regular design, as will befully described hereinafter and finally pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1, represents a top-view of myimproved trimming. Fig. 2, is a top-view of the same, after the edgesare trimmed and the auxiliary warpthreads by which the cut and uncuttrams are formed, are withdrawn. Fig. 3, is a topview of the trimming,after steaming the same. Fig. 4., is a representation of thepattern-chart according to which the tram-weft threads are interwovenwith the warp-threads of the heading. Fig. 4, is a diagram showing thearrangements of the warp-threads of the heading and the interweaving ofthe tram weftthreads with the same and with the auxiliary warp-threadsand the wires for forming the looped trams. Fig. 4 is a diagram showingthe heading on a larger scale and the interweaving of the tramweft-threads with the warp-threads of the heading, and Figs. 5, 6 and 7are respectively vertical transverse sections on lines 5 5, Fig. 1, 6 6,Fig. 2, and 7 7, Fig. 3, said sections representing the different stepsin the manufacture of the trimming.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a trimming which is composed ofa heading a and a facing b, the facing being formed of silk, mohair orother tramswhich are partly cut and partly uncut or looped, as shownclearly in Fig. 3. The weft-thread is interwoven with the warp-threadsof the heading a and with a series of auxiliary warp-threads d d, whichis arranged at each side of the heading.

The trimming is made on a loom of the ordinary construction by means ofa single shuttle only, which passes the weft-thread through theWarp-threads and around the wires e at each side of the heading whichserve for form- 7 ing the looped trams. The warp-threads of the headingare each formed of multiples of threads, the end warp-threads beingformed of eighteen threads and the intermediate warp-threads of two,four and six threads respectively as shown clearly in Fig. 4 Theweft-thread is interwoven with the warpthreads of the heading and withthe auxiliary warp-threads and with the wires e as shown by the diagramin Fig. 4 the intermeshing of the weft-threads with the Warp-threads ofthe heading being more clearly indicated in Fig. 4, while thepattern-chart shown in Fig. 4, illustrates the eight successive picks bywhich the facing and the selvage of the heading is formed The first andsecond pick at the right hand side and the eighth and ninth picks at theleft hand side form a selvage at each side of the heading while theintermediate picks form with the auxiliary warpthreads at d and thewires 'e the trams from which the facing of the trimming is produced.When the trimming leaves the loom, it has the appearance shown in Fig.5, the trams of the Weft-thread being retained by the auxiliaryWarp-threads d d. The edges of the trams ward removed and with the wires6. The wires 6 simply serve for forming the looped trams which areslipped off from thewires as thetrimming is produced in the loom in themanner well known to practical weavers. After the trimming is woven inthe loom, it is removed and cut off at the edges so as to cut ends ofsome of the trams, while the trams which are looped in the wires remainin uncut or looped condition. The auxiliary warp -threads by which theends of the uncut trams are formed, are then removed in lateraldirection, which can easily be done as they freely leave the cut trams.The facing of the trimming is parted along the center-line of theheading and is then subjected to a steaming action by which theuniformrounded-off form of the facing shown in Fig. 7 is obtained in themanner well known to manufacturers of plush and similar trimmings. Bymeans of difierent pattern-charts difierent designs of looped or uncuttrams may be produced in the cut trams, so that a variety of ornamentaldesigns is obtained by which a very characteristic and highly ornamentalappearance is imparted to the trimming, as the appearance of the loopedor uncut trams differs essentially from the cut trams even though thecolor of the frame is alike.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- A trimming composed of a heading formed ofwarp-threads and of tram weft-threads which are interwoven therewith soas to form a selvage at each side of the heading, and a facing which iscomposed of cut and looped or uncut trams, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

FRIEDRICH I-IASSENPFLUG.
